    Most of the critic review i have seen is just pathetic. I don't know whether to call it lazy reporting or bandwagon reporting. This album is fire from beats to flow everything is top notch. Best Nas album in a while.

    Had 4 good song songs and alot of bad ones. Many of the tracks had lackluster beats that shouldve never been released with the worst being the jarreau of rap.

    Simply bad. Nothing more, nothing less. Listened to this while working and it just encouraged my brain to go to sleep.

    He can clearly still spit elite bars, at more or less the same rate he could over twenty years ago. “The Lost Tapes 2” may be marketed as a sequel, but it’s a selection of largely forgettable album cuts that didn’t make Nas’ last few albums.

    A secondary release in execution and intent, this is recommendable only to serious fans with a justifiably insatiable curiosity for what the artist creates.

    For much of the record, Nas sounds like he’s trying too hard.
